Lyon vs Sparta Prague Live Streaming, Kick-Off Time, Lineups & TV Guide

The second leg of the UEFA Champions League qualification playoff semifinal will see Lyon host Czech side Sparta Prague at the Groupama Stadium on Tuesday. The first leg ended in a 2-1 win for Sparta even after conceding the first goal of the game.

Olympique Lyonnais scored early in that fixture through a Martin Suchomel own goal, but strikes from Matej Rynes and John Mercado turned the game on its head, as Sparta bagged their first win against the French outfit after a run of six head-to-head meetings.

As Paulo Fonseca's men get ready to overturn the tie, the record shows that Lyon are attempting a seventh comeback in the UEFA Champions League but have never overturned a first-leg deficit in the previous six instances, whether in qualifiers or the main tournament.

This highlights the daunting challenge the French club faces ahead of this fixture, where a defeat would see them drop into the Europa League. Les Gones need to score the early goal to keep the home crowd going and need to sort their defense out if they want to qualify for the final playoff tie.

Another record says that Lyon have not lost any of their last nine home fixtures since 2016, although seven of them ended in a draw. On the other hand, Sparta Prague (Sparta Praha) are on the verge of knocking out their French counterparts in revenge for the two lost group stage matches in 2004.

Brian Priske made several changes to his side in the Czech domestic league game this Saturday, keeping the all-important UCL tie in mind, which resulted in a 2-0 defeat to Mlada Boleslav. It is to be seen whether the move pays off in the UCL qualifier, where he is expected to field a strong lineup.

This was Sparta Prague's second away defeat of the season, and they have now gone six matches without a clean sheet for the first time since May 2025, which could be a major concern for the Danish manager ahead of the game.

With a UEFA Champions League league phase berth at stake, both teams would want to win this semifinal playoff and qualify for the final playoff, which would be played against the winner of Fenerbahçe vs Sturm Graz.
